Mission

Out of Hand Theater makes new work for new audiences. We collaborate with international artists and scientists and tour our work to reach new audiences in new ways. We involve communities in our work through collaborations and interactive productions that blur the line between artist and audience. Out of Hand creates razor-sharp, delight-filled experiences by:

Involving the audience in a new way every time, giving you a stake in the show

Magnifying the places where we, artists and audience, share common ground, causing moments of mass intimacy

Embracing those who are unreached by conventional theater

Statement of Purpose

We believe we are only as good as our collaborators and our audience is our primary partner. We enlist the community in our creation process through free workshop performances, constant on-line dialogue, and collaborations with scientists, schools, and theater companies across the country.

We make theater accessible through bafflingly affordable ticket prices and free public performance in unexpected places.

We maintain a strong training regimen that challenges, inspires and expands the artists of Out of Hand, infusing Atlanta with a fully charged army of theater makers.

We share our collaborative approach to art and life with as many people as possible through performances, classes, residencies, parties, games, and collaborations with visual artists/thinkers/researchers/communities/activists/teachers/students…

Through collaboration, we seek a deeper understanding of the world.

Philosophy of Performance

  • Relish the profound and the silly
  • Create moments of mass intimacy
  • Expand the boundaries of American storytelling
  • Embrace relentless kindness
  • Uncover meaning in the mundane
  • Play at the speed of fun

Out of Hand is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
